>Do you prefer medium format or 35mm film? Why?
Medium format, because of the large negatives (absurd IQ, large area covered in great detail)
Also because it's cool as fuck. Love the process, the extra time it takes
And 120 slides are the shit
For quick scenes I prefer 35mm tho of course

Large format. Bigger always equals better.

35mm film is simply photography meets physical reality, it's fun and you should do your own dev and scans with budget gear
Medium format is like shooting digital but worse, muh pixel level quality, there's nothing special about it at all but potentially an extra stop of toneh
4x5 and up is where it gets good again because the standard movements you can use are greater than those on 35mm perspective control lenses, but if you're not doing that it's just resolution wank for people who plan on coping hardcore when their drum scans get btfo by a $3500 gfx100s off ebay

>>4309014
The final form of large format photography is making contact prints, and then the final form of printing is not with silver. It is with platinum and other "better" metals that provide richer colors with the widest tonal range possible.

>>4309014
So I should put my money into large format and ditch my 120 toy camera?

>Do you prefer medium format or 35mm film?

I like 35mm more. Specifically, interchangeable lens rangefinder cameras. They're small relative to medium format or slrs. Some can fit in my pocket. Very fun to shoot. I also like to larp as HCB sometimes. Pic unrelated.

Depends on the subject matter but recently I've fallen in love with large format.

>>4309036
Yes.

>>4309008
I will also say that a full AF 35mm camera is great to have for casual shooting. Whether that's something like a 1v, f5, T3, G1, etc. All are good.

For medium format the best cameras are zone focused, wide angle, and in formats 6×7 or greater. The graflex slxw is a perfect example.

>>4309046
Master with Rangefinder, 50 Jahre Limited Edition. That's a Schneider Super Symmar XL 110mm f/5.6 105° and I had a custom cam made! Initially bought it cause I wanted to do 6x17 but I didn't want to buy a hyper specialized camera when I could buy an LF and get a Shen Hao film back for it. Only did I realize after the fact that I actually love the 28mm equivalent look it has and I've started using it for street portraiture very recently.

Indistinguishable from the 28 (!) other threads started with a generic gear photo stolen from google, and even worse than 5 of those because
they're very obviously film cameras where this is just a black plastic blob with a white badge on top like any other modern camera.
Not even cropped square or given text or a border to make it look like a general.
Do you like the feeling you get when you're the op little babby-retard?

how do I get into medium format without spending a shit load of money? I'm not talking about the film itself, a 15 roll of 120 for using 645 cameras costs the same as a 36 roll of portra so I literally don't care about that. but the cameras themselves are fucking stupid money for a mirror box and a lens, they don't even come with prisms 99% of the time and those cost as much as the rest of the camera, oh you wanted a film back so you can actually take pictures? $400, oh you wanted a dark slide with your film back? fuck you $120, no none of this works I found all this shit in the hands of a skeleton trapped in a car in the hudson river, [MINT++++] no offers, no returns, you organise freight.

Shoot Tri-X at 200 and see if you get results
If it's still good, it'll look good
If it's gone bad, it'll still look good becuz pulling
This will give you an idea of how they were stored
Shoot Acros as 100 if the tests with Tri-X come out good, or adjust accordingly
Acros is one of the most beautiful B&W films I've ever shot, and these are first generation from what I see which is the best (in my opinion)
For Cinestill 400D just... whatever, shoot something unimportant with it

Get the exposure right first and foremost but you already know that.
Then get adobe lightroom and negative lab pro. Its fucking impossible to get the colours right in just camera raw.

the colors are absolutely fucked in this photo, invest in some fucking light seals for your camera first. best I can do for "crunchy hipster warzone shit". it's mostly brush masks to cover up all the green and yellow flares, then clarity jacked to the moon. but realistically the image is just unsalvageable.

It was metered for 200 as it should (Kodak Gold 200), but the next couple of photos I metered as 800 by mistake
To compensate I shot the rest of the roll as 400 and developed it as 400 as well so that I could get workable results across the whole roll
So the film is pushed and this is one stop overexposed, unfortunately
>get adobe lightroom and negative lab pro
>Its fucking impossible to get the colours right in just camera raw
I've been using only camera raw to edit my photos and 99% of the time it suffices, but I'll look into Lightroom and Lab Pro
I already have Lightroom installed but I've never got the hang of it, the whole thing was confusing as fuck
But I'll watch some tutorials online

Actually I did already it was kind of a boring photo of the beach, and another one of a window with stickers. Both were really weak but they were the only ones that came out well-- turns out I shouldn't have trusted the film holders that came free with the camera. The camera itself was mint in box condition but it's been in that box for 30 years so I had to spend about 1,750 to have it overhauled and revamped. 150 of which was for the custom cam for that lens. 75 for infinity stops. 300 for new authentic bellows. All in all I spent about 3,500 on that camera but that's still a great deal compared to buying a new Master Technika Classic now.

I just recently shot another 10 photos but using brand new Toyo View film holders so I'm really excited to see the new results.

Regarding the lens, yeah I found it new in box as well. Got a great deal on it considering it came with free testing, and free new in box Center Filter IIIb that can cost as much as a lens as well.

The original term 'full frame' used to mean a photo with frame edge/markings. Some photographers like having the frame edge to show off the fact that they didn't crop to correct. It's a purist thing with some people.

What part did you not like? Look it up, the term originates from cinematography. Sometimes used to also be called full gate, meaning no reframing was needed it was the 'full frame'. Term migrated to stills from there. I was merely explaining why some people prefer those edge markings or a black frame around their negative and where that style originated from.

You're making a massive error here, and it's thinking retro chic is the only acceptable aesthetic, rather than just the one that matches your purse the best. That's ok, most hipsters have autism spectrum disorder and a major symptom is impaired theory of mind so the afflicted are literally unable to comprehend that their preferences are not simple facts.

>>4309310
To put it in fashion terms, retro larp camera people are the "supreme gentlemen" clinging to <40mm automatic watches and casually wearing 3 piece suits, with hats, or they are women (who actually can wear tiny watches and 3 piece suits with hats)

>>4309313
Lol you don’t know anything about fashion

>>4309286
Huh, you're right. Right down to them stealing the rangefinder look to LARP as one.

>>4309274
How is the 645? I was thinking of getting one.

>>4309317
No, that's pretty accurate. Leicas and silver crapboxes are the fedoras and seiko 5s of cameras. There to show others what you are (a twat). A bronica or a hassy 500, or even more ideally, a view camera, is actually more fashionable if used by a well dressed man who truly understands that photography is dangerous. It disrespects the subject, and it places a wall between the photographer and their own life, therefore it should be done purposefully and the camera ought not be a lifestyle item but a refined tool that is brought out to fulfill its duty and put back away. The act of using it alone is aesthetic, it is not a mere toy, it is not an addiction, it is not an all consuming, identity defining act. The painter does not carry his easel everywhere, but when he is at it, he is focused, he is serene, and he is himself the portrait of artistry. Purpose, vision, a calculated act of creativity that is uniquely human, far above the level of a monkey smearing shit on a wall and making noise. So it is with cameras - are you a monkey trained to press a button, or a man creating an image?

Autistic delusion.

>>4309323
agreed compact cameras are ironically the most intrusive and obnoxious cameras. they're always there, always snip snapping and producing worthless "moment" photos nobody will look at more than once like "my cat looking cute #708" and "my kids smiling #1043"

big camera chads simply have a higher aesthetic, in the act and in the result.
also see: phones, the new leica. a simple device. simply intrusive. simply obnoxious. nobody can escape it, and nobody can put the fucking thing down and go somewhere without it. it's almost disrespectful. is the photographer really in control of the camera, or is the camera in control of the photographer?

Bronicas are quintessential to the aesthetic of Real Photography. It is a "the camera" camera, not a "my camera" camera. To have a bronica on a tripod is to say "i am a photographer" not "i like cameras". It's a more thoughtful and refined presence simply because it is unrefined like a speckled metal tool - the lack of mechanical refinement belies a higher degree of refinement than someone obsessed with broaches and baubles. The humble brush, the simple charcoals, sitting among luxurious fountain pens and soulless bics, an item for art first rather than idle doodles and superficiality.

The bronica user of today, and the bronica user is always of today, doesn't even wear a watch! They check their phone for the time.

About the colour blobs. Are you scanning in darkness? Reflections will seriously impact your colours.
You dont have to scan in perfect darkness, just dont keep the ceiling light on and shut your curtains.

I think I'm going to all in on dslr scanning this epson just ain't cutting it anymore

>>4309373
Do it anon, I’ve only done a few test frames but just from a shitty setup without proper holders or a good light, it still already blows my Canoscan 9000 out of the water.

I’ve been using an optifilm 8100 for a few years, don’t tell me that one is shit too

>>4309350

>>4309220

Welp, marketing slogans aside, Bronica on a tripod says nothing and suggest nothing. It simply does not look as old or goofy as chrome-accented Hassy or tlr. >>4309323
Horseshit.
Of course, gear affects how one works (see Meyerowitz), but it does not make photos magically better - there I can agree. A photo taken with utmost care, well metered and well printed can still not succeed. At the same time a snapshot can be much more intresting (in photographic terms), despite technical failures.
This is one reason why we have tons of Adams-wanabees that go to great lenghts and still wind out with boredom manifest on piece of film. It works the other way too - a legion of streetshitters trying to copy Winograd or whoever else you don't like, not realising that simply machinegunning everything in their way is not a way anybody from that generation of photogs worked and Wino's shooing style got exegerated massivly by "posthumos" works made at and caused bycertain (not happy or healthy) time in his life (not to mention that he himself bought 8x10 shortly before death).

I have also never met an draughstman or artist that would not carry a sketchbook or at least scribble on scrap paper.

tl;dr Bronicas ETR-s are cute. CUTE cameras with good lenses and full range of accesories to suit most situations. They are also quite affordable.
I like mine despite disliking 645 format.

>>4309392
I started with extension tubes for my 50mm, and then came across a laowa 100mm 2:1 on sale which so far has been great. The 50mm would be fine but you probably won’t get good magnification without using tubes or reversing it

It's really hard to tell whats going on. Spotlight the bird. Dodge and burn. Something.

>>4309430
Phone pictures do them absolutely no justice, and my piece of shit computer is broken, so I can't scan/properly photograph them. All those white specks are actually glittery looking silver, and not just junk on the image.

These are captured in camera, so there's no dodging or burning. You can only use light modifiers, which I don't have. In person you can definitely tell what's going on. These wetplates have a finer definition/resolution to them than what you get from printing paper.

I'm getting a big clamshell reflector soon. It will be very useful for wetplate because the emulsion is mostly sensitive to UV.

My lab did the scans and they're always high quality
I don't know what happened for those blobs to appear, but I'll check the negatives to see if they're there
I believe they are
I respooled the film in the dark because I forgot to take the metal plate from the back lol
But in this process of respooling the film I think I touched the emulsion because my finger came out oily
I've never had a problem like that with emulsions but it's very probably the cause

Best affordable 645 lenses are the 55mm 2.8 and the 135 2.8. But the cheapest I bought is that 80-160 f4.5 zoom for $140, that lens is still available new for $2,000. Heavy though.

I have a Pentax P30. Any 40mm lens that will properly fit on it?

>>4309088
Kiev-60 or Kiev-88. It's still a lottery to get one without severe issues but it costs 150$ for Kiev-88+prism+extra film backs+case+Volna-3 80 or less than 100$ for Kiev-60 with lens and prism, both in good working conditions.

>>4309505
I'm going to see if I can make my next batch lighter today. I don't think I will like it as much, but it's worth a shot. Wetplate has a very low DR compared to modern film, so it may just look awful if I push the image a stop or 2.

Cringe = feelings, so I have succeeded in producing art and the series isn't even done yet. Ha! Ha! I know it's pretty cliche...

what can it do that the lesser ones cant

>>4309571
My gearfag brain tells me that a professional/prosumer nikon F autofocus SLR is the ideal film camera, but my normal person brain tells me that it's time to say "enough", stop switching gear around, and just treat the film camera like a hobby/fashion toy instead of a serious device that can be taken traveling until I can free up a room for developing LF, then it's ideal to leave the 35mm at home and shoot digital for fun and sheets for passion.

The normal person brain is probably right.

>>4309574
The viewfinder doesn't suck, for one.

>>4309578
So you’re going to abandon it for digital at one end and LF at the other? Good luck bro. Someday when I have an extra $1500 around I’ll try my hand at LF

>>4309581
The burkepill.

Digital cameras also make handy light meters for large format

>>4309578
Sort of pretty based, but you'll be missing out on printing all your inferior format film shots in the darkroom.

>>4309578
Better overall build quality alone to hold up until you actually make that leap. The F100 is enough you don't need anything more but in reality you don't need anything more than a Nikon F and yet here we are talking about the F80/N80 vs. F100.

1 16x20 sheet of glass costs 10 dollars and makes 16 4x5 plates if you can perfectly cut the glass.

This is the absolute cheapest way to shoot large format at less than 1 dollar per plate all materials included.

>>4309603
I’ve never done plate glass before, how do you keep the chemicals on the glass?

>>4309616
eggs.
I am not shitting on you

>>4309616
You add a small amount of amino silane to your colloidion. It helps it stick to the glass.

Well lads RIP to my eos 5, just fried the poor bastard. Was poking around to find a good place to pull alternate power line, to bypass the turbofaggot 2cr5 battery, and accidentally shorted the big flash caps. After a nice big firework, the thing is now basically dead. Comes on for a second with voltage but the goes into dead battery mode. Behavior makes me think other caps may have been blasted along the chain but honestly cba to trace it down. Goodnight sweet prince. It was only 25 bucks on eBay may just get a replacement desu, I liked this little thing and ef film shooting is wildly underrated (it just werks!). And whoever invented 2cr5 can roast in hell tbqhwy.

The last two, which are related, might be the most important advantage of 120 vs. 35mm. You shouldn't see grain structure instead of smooth tonal transitions.

The APX100 I shot on the same day looks fine.

Just look at this mess. Luckily I was only testing a lens that day but there are scratches running down the lengths of whole film. There's also what looks like a light leak but it's consistently there on every shot.

no no anon, eos 1. without letters. I get one central AF point and i'm going to like it. and if i don't like it fuck me. lol. looks like i actually only ended up paying in line with ebay prices for it so that's nice, about 100 canuckbucks. once i sell the extra 50mm it came with. I know these threads generally aren't fans of the more electronic automatic film stuff, but i love the sound of that film wind. its nostalgic.

Got the first role from my Pentax 67 drying as we speak. Super excited about the big negative, probably will get into large eventually.

Feels so good bros.

Oh... You will be inspired by your self imposed limitations! The 1v has an amazing shutter/wind sound. With the power grip it just sounds extremely snappy and precise.

I finally received my 100m roll of 70mm agfa aviphot lol. Spent like 170 on it. Should give me the equivalent of 100ish rolls of 120. I have a 70mm back for my rz67 that I'll be using even though I do not like using that camera without a tripod.

did you run your scans through Lightroom and make adjustments? straight from the lab isn't always the best considering they make post-process adjustments themselves

Well... You can see the images. Who cares how they look when you'll get to see the actual quality once you print them in a darkroom.

>>4309903
just click >Auto lol

>>4309910
What software has the best automatic function?

>>4309891
>>4309907
the lab scanners are like 15-20 years old now. "enhanced" is basically the highest end digital sensor... by 2005 standards so yeah they're going to be low res and look like shit. doesn't really matter though as you still have your negatives so you can always rescan them later with a DSLR or whatever. personally I think noritsu looks like ass and you should always scan yourself. even if your digi camera is a old heap of shit like my 5D with only 9.5 stops of dynamic range you can still stack multiple exposures to recover literally everything.

Guys I think I've got it. My first photography project will be about taco stands. Small ones, big ones, roofed ones, open ones, all sorts! Do you think that's be cool?

>>4309923
Depends. Will your images be of the corner of the taco stands?

>>4309923
Sure. That sounds like a fun scavenger hunt too.

shoot them at night on Cinestill 800T

>>4309927
Yes and I will shoot them on pushed Portra 400 for the tonez
Jk I want to shoot most of them straight on, thinking about using 6x7 but might use 35mm for shots where I can't setup a tripod
We'll see

>>4309928
Excellent

>>4309923
sounds pretty fun, you can also review the tacos at each stand and then make your own taco stand photobook guide

>>4309923
Cool or not, it’s nice to have an actual project and goal to work through. I was recently in California and thought it would be neat to try and catalogue as much of the rapidly dwindling googie buildings and street signs as possible.

>Isn't sharpness a lens thing?
It's both.

>And saying fine detail and less grain sort of redundant?
No, they're related but somewhat independent within a small range.

Might be fun to order a plate of 3 tacos and photograph that as well. Then you have a great excuse to eat lots of tacos.

>>4309938
>>4309952
Fugg, when making photobooks how much variation between the photos is allowed? Now I'm thinking I have the taco stands themselves, then I bring a P&S to do closeups of the food with flash, so it looks vibey.
Might be too much difference in the images between an MF shot and a shitty P&S shot

>>4309957
Left page is taco stand, right page is tacos. If your book isn't too big 35mm and 67 may not be thaaaat different. You could also play on the difference and figure out two complimentary films for the different subjects.

>>4309957
I say shoot it all on Gold 200 in 35mm

>>4309959
blud tryna sabotage my project

>>4309958
I.this dude's suggestion >>4309933 for night shots, then I'm thinking shooting the food in B&W. Stupid idea?

It would surely be artistic. Food can be quite tricky to shoot in b&w.

So today I tried the massively over expose everything instagram effect. Shot the whole roll +2 stops just using the built in light meter. A lot of shit images but some of them worked. Definitely a neat look if you can find a scene with the right contrast ratio. But I would avoid doing this shit without spot metering to get middle gray in the right place or you're just throwing money away.

Isn't high key lighting where you intentionally light a scene for a dreamy/scifi look though? I'm doing it specially to fuck up the colors.

99% chance its some kind of kodak respool, but i don't know for certain. who else is making 400 colour stock in bulk these days after all?

>>4310072
probably some kodak. there seems to be also 27 exposure disposable camera from that brand which looks the same as kodak's disposable cameras.

The nice thing about c41 at least is you don’t have to deal with variable timings and recipes depending on the phase of the moon and whether you farted while loading the camera and all the other silly variables black and white film dev can have. C41 is c41 is c41, simple as.

Nope. Fuji 400 is just Kodak rebranded starting this year once Fuji’s oft-rumored deep frozen stock runs out.

The Fuji 200 (incidentally the one in >>4310128) is literally Gold 200 to the point they just copy pasted the curves in spec sheet. I'd be very very surprised if it wasn't the same with the 400 (and 100) versions.
